The nomination period is now open for growers to serve on the Wisconsin Cherry Board. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture will accept nominations until April 1 for one open seats, which is the result of a 2015 referendum where growers chose to drop
district director seats in lieu of at-large positions around the state.

The panel represents the state's cherry growers in promotion, new product development, research and education.

Completed nomination forms must include signatures from at least five eligible growers other than the nominee. The affidavit of eligibility, located on the nomination form, must also be completed and notarized.

DATCP will mail nomination forms to eligible growers. Producers who have not received nomination forms by March 15 or who have other questions about the nomination process should call 608-224-5116.
